Dependent widowed daughter is still daughter and falls within ambit of ‘dependent family’, eligible for compassionate appointment: Allahabad HC
“If a married son is eligible for compassionate appointment if he was dependent upon his father at the time of his death unless he had his own means of livelihood, then, there is no reason as to why a married daughter who is similarly placed, i.e., if she was dependent upon her father, should not be eligible for compassionate appointment under the aforesaid scheme.”
